5.00The exhibit was beautiful. I wish we had more time to see the artwork. We felt a little bit rushed. We did wait 45 minutes in line even with our tour prepaid. It was a little challenging, finding the meeting spot. But overall a wonderful tour and exceptional tour guide
Good tour

3.00Although it was crowded and we could not move fast, the amount of information was overwhelming. I am sure there were some in the group that enjoyed it, but to us it was too much. Three hours of facts with a whisper system that did not function properly is not fun. We stopped in front of too many paintings and received information that artists would love but is not for the general man in the street. Our guide certainly knows her art but it is not necessary to do the complete course of Art 101.

5.00This was a really great experience with Francesca. The two museums are chocked full of georgeous works of art, and we could spend days enjoying the artwork and the two respective buildings. Given our limited time, this was a resourceful way to see the highlights in the two galleries without feeling overwhelmed. My family and I enjoyed this guided tour very much.
Interesting and informative tour of breathtaking Italian art with very knowledgeable and friendly guide, Christina

5.00Christina our guide was so knowledgeable about the art and history we were seeing. The art we saw at the Uffizi and the Accdemia was the best of Italian art. Small group was absolutely a necessity as the crowds were extreme in both museums.
Great tour and tour guide!

4.00The tour guide was fantastic, but it is very fast paced. You will only see the major highlights at the Uffizi. If you like to lollygag and contemplate specific paintings and or the environment, I suggest booking a longer tour at the Uffizi.
Worth every penny.

Rushed, and Not Worth It

2.00This was one of the most disappointing tours I’ve ever taken. We were instructed to arrive by 11:45 a.m. for a 12:00 p.m. start, but the guide didn’t even pick us up until noon. Despite having “skip the line” tickets, we spent nearly 30 minutes waiting before entering the Uffizi Gallery. By then, we were already running behind, and the entire experience felt rushed and disorganized. The guide spent too much time asking open-ended questions instead of providing concise explanations of key artworks. Given the limited time, it would have been better to focus on the major pieces and allow for questions at the end. His delivery also felt somewhat disengaged. We had booked a combined Uffizi and Accademia Gallery tour, but because of the delays, we were already 20 minutes late for the Accademia portion. When we asked if we could just have our Accademia tickets to explore on our own later, we were told that was not an option. We ultimately decided to skip the Accademia entirely so we could spend more time in the Uffizi — which is much larger and filled with many of the masterpieces we came to see — and to visit the gift shop at our own pace. Overall, this tour felt poorly managed and not worth the money. I recommend skipping this company altogether and purchasing your tickets directly from each museum. Both offer “skip the line” options with audio guides that let you explore at your own pace and actually enjoy the art without feeling rushed or restricted.
